They look like us! A review of the live action Parasyte movie

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather liked the Parasyte anime, especially the start of the series when we were discovering all about the alien invasion and everything was going so badly wrong. I thought the ending was a bit luke warm but since the live action adaption of the series is split into two I knew I wouldn’t have […]

Billions Dead: A review of Surface Tension

March 13, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Surface Tension is a graphic novel from Jay Gunn and Titan Comics. Gunn is both the author and illustrator so, straight off the bat, I’m impressed. The comic book picks up on a remote British Island after sea sickness has killed most of the people on the planet. The sea sickness was horrible; it gave […]

Short film: The Storybook Killer

March 13, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a cheesy short horror film. It follows the rules of budget horror production and remains fun while doing so. Ten years ago a young boy goes missing while playing in a theme park and now, driven by guilt, his older brother tries to hunt down the kidnapper. No prizes for guessing the ending. […]

Short film: I, Zombie

February 9, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What would Doom look like from the point of view of one of the monsters. I, Zombie is a graduation animation by Antoine Legendre. It’s […]

Creepily good: A review of Mira Nikki – Future Diary

January 31, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve taken a dip into the Future Diary before on Geek Native. Years before a UK release, international reviewer L. Meridian offered us a glimpse inside. We were warned of impending horror despite appearances. This review looks at Collection 1, that’s episodes 1 to 13, and takes us into that horror. Our “hero” is an […]
